<p>I would really appreciate your comments on my original post - the time is drawing close to moving onto site!</p>
<p>It appears, from my reading of regs, that the converted Leyland Daf 45 horse truck that I plan to put on site to live in while we renovate meets the necessary criteria to be classed as a caravan. Am I right?</p>
<p>Anyway, your expertise and experience would be gratefully received!</p>

It hasn't been lived in for about 12 years. In the garden there is an old (now beyond repair) caravan; not a static, but a large towing caravan of the sort used by fairground people and travellers. When I phoned the council about council tax, I was told that the caravan had it's own separate address and council tax account!</p>
<p>The question is what advantages, if any, does this give us - is it worth our while keeping up the council tax payments for it (we might perhaps eventually be able to rent out whatever replaces it as a separate dwelling unit?).</p>
<p>At the moment we plan to replace it with a converted horse lorry mobile home that I already own, to live in whilst we renovate the house - is this acceptable from a planning point of view? (I realise this probably raises a separate issue!).</p>
<p>The house also has a 1/4 acre paddock adjoining the garden in which I wish to site a shepherds hut I am currently building (movable on wheels), which will be used as guest accommodation and for volunteers working on the land and house. Will this be subject to planning restrictions?</p>
<p>We are in a national park.</p>
<p>Many thanks in advance,</p>
